DECLARATION OF FAITH

We believe

… the Bible the is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God

. … in the Godhead and that, in Jesus dwelleth the fullness of the Godhead bodily according to Colossians 2:9.

… in the blessed Hope, the second coming of Christ. …the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ

. … the baptism of the Holy Spirit according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it and the gifts of the Holy Spirit are available to believers

. … in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by who’s indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life

. … in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost - the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation

. … in the application of water baptism by immersion according to the scriptures

. … that the baptised believers of this church being many are one body and that God gave Christ to be head of the body which is the Church (1 Corinthians 12:12; Ephesians 1:22)

. … in the Five-Fold-Ministry and Eldership according to the New Testament Church in the Bible. We believe that an Apostle, Pastor, Evangelist, Teacher and Prophet are not positions or offices in the Church, but are Ascension Gifts according to (Ephesians 4:11 – 12)

. ... that when Christ left according to Ephesians 4:11-12, he gave gifts unto men for the perfecting of the Church. So we only ordain Ministers or Elders and confirm their gift as an Apostle, Pastor, Evangelist etc. …

in the Lord’s Supper and it is a sacramental rite instilled by our Lord to show forth an example of commemorating His death and suffering.   This is the Hebraic Year 5770 (2010). My Year of Perfection & Divine Order!! Everthing for my life shall come into Alinement with God's Divine Will and Order!  

H.O.P.E. from the visionary about the vision.

We are excited about the journey God has placed us on together. It is a journey with highs and lows, however Jesus remains Lord. It is Jesus’ Lordship over the fluctuations of life which makes us, as Pastor’s, know that when situation of various shades arrive, they are created not to make us bitter but better.

Over many years this word has informed my thinking and the lens that I view the people and many situations that are tinted with H.O.P.E

The message that God has given me is one in which H.O.P.E is the backbone to the skeleton of life.

The Vision

A definition of Vision is to see, to witness (in a dream or vision). I have witnessed, I have seen H.O.P.E. My eyes and mind have clearly and intelligently recorded the message for the church, community and society to understand that H.O.P.E is a necessary value extricable linked to the future yet it needs to be based in the present.

“Write the Vision and make it plain”

The Vision I believe is what God has shown a leader. This revealing then has to be written and made clear. H.O.P.E Ministries has a vision. This vision has been followed and is developing and now emerging with new entities.

Over the years of studying the Word, Holy Spirit has lead me to declare the word H.O.P.E. I have known and experienced this word as a young child and teenager. However, on reflection, this one word has developed me and is in me, as a cornerstone of my testimony.

Definitions of the word H.O.P.E

To look forward with confidence to that which is good and beneficial.
‘and we had hoped that he would be the one who was going to redeem Israel (Luke 24:21)

To Hope in a prior manner, either beforehand or prior to someone else to hope beforehand, to the first to hope.
‘Let us, then who are the first to hope in Christ, praise God’s glory’ (Ephesians 1:12)

That which constitutes the cause or reason for hoping –
“the basis for hope, the reason for hope”. “for who is the basis for our hope or joy”. (1 Thess 2:19)
